Tie War on Senator Gibson.
TNatchitoches Review

GNatchitoches Review.]
One of the most reprehensible features
of the campaign In the interest of Gov.
McEnery, is the relentless war waged
against Senator r. l.. Gibson. In the
spirit Of certain fair aud famous
maiden who cut the pigeon wing be-
fore king Herod some eighteen hun
dred years ago, few of the hungry
Office seekers OF the McEnery faction
have demanded as the price of their
work in behalf of the chief, the head of
the senior Senator Of Louisiana, and
the McEncry combine have ordered a
compliance with the demand. The
edict has been issued and the prepara-
tions for the decapitation of Senator
Gibson have already begun. The peo-
pie, who are supposed to have some
interest in the matter of the selection
of their representatives in the United
States Senate, have manifested some
curiosity to know why the man who
has so long, 90 faithfully, and so effici-
emily, represented them in that august
body, is to be put aside. The only an-
swer that the e"Democratic party" that
is the worshiper Of Gov. McEnry, have
deigned to make, is that the gentleman
in question incurred their displeasure
by (as they allege) attempting 10 con-
troll the politics of this State through
the agency of Federal appointments.
A brief resume of the events which
have developed the present hostility on
the part Of the McEnery faction toward
General Gibson, may not be uninterest

The Mexican Mission.

Tho friends OF Associate Justice
Robert B.. Todd, LII. D., Of the 6u-
preme Court Of this State, have sugRss-
ted his name In connection with the
vacancy created In the Mexican mis-.
sion by the death of the lamented
Judge 7. q. Manning. Judge Todd's
residence for many years In Mexico,
bis thorough acquaintance with thel In
stitutioDs, material interests aud ma
ttouai aspirations Of the people of that
country, his knowledge of the Spanish
and French languages, and his emience
as a jurlst, qualify him In an unusual
degree for the discharge Of the duties
Of the post In question. Indeed, IL 10
not too much 10 say that no u1anu was
ever better qualified Ia 80 many impor.
tant respects tn represent the United
Sta tes at the capital OF our sister Re.
public. As the vacancy has been csea.
ted by the death Of distinguished
LouIslanian and former member of
our Supreme Court, the President
might very appropriately and grace.
fully appoint anothe reminent cttisen
from the same State and from the same
high tribunal. Under these circurD.
stances we might almost say that the
place belongs to Louisiana, and the ap-
pointment Of Judge Todd would be
compliment to the commonwealth and
entirely acceptable and satisfactory to
the whole body of It's Democracy, II he
could be induced 10 accept II. We
trust, therefore, that President Cieve~
land will give due consideration 10 tho
suggestion of Judge Todd's friends,
confident rs we are that his appoints
ment would serve to maintain the cor.
dial relations already existing between
Mexico and this country. -Picuy,t,,e,

The more timid people Of the coun-
try trembled tor the safety of our politl-
Cal institutions when they saw the
junior Senator from Louisiana shake
of his proverbisl Incidence, aud pre-
pare to lead a crusade which was to
end only in the disbursement Of Cleve.
land and the death of mugwumpism In
America. No hired bard ever told the
deeds of feudal master, in words OF
more extravagant praise than those
which were used by the McEnery
press to portray the virtues aud prowess
of their patron, the Junior Senator,
during the Organization of the host he
was to lead against the man Of destiny.
A host, by the way, which failed to
materiaiizs by large majority.
A stranger to our politics aud public
men, depending for information on
these subjects upon theTimes- Democrat
and papers Of lesser note, of the came
kind, during that period, would have
supposed that Cleveland was some
kind of an anti-Democrat of the most
pronounced and dangerous type, while
Senator Eutis was the incarnation Of
all that was valiant and true from a
democratic point Of view. After
awhile, however, the people took upon
themselves the trial of the issues be>
tween Cleveland and Eustis and the
verdict was so emphatic In favor of
the former that 1t gave Mr.. Eustis and
his friends a sort of set back, md
they concluded that they had better
seek smaller game.
In the meantime Senator Gibson,
who possessed the confidence of the
President, was earnestly engaged in
the effort to assist him In the work of
turning the rascals out In this and other
States, aud In giving to"ihe people q
good, clean government. That this
work has been successfully performed
no Intelligent man will deny. Without
pausing to discuss the excellencies of
the federal service In this State, aud
the efficient aid which Senator Gibson
gave toward its attain ment, we hurry
on the sequel.
Senator Eustis and his friends were
no doubt sore-very sore-over the
sudden collapse Of their little scheme
to down the President, and 1t is but
natural that their anger should center
upon Senator Gibson, who, In his hum
bic way, did what ne could to shield
Mr.. Cleveland from the blows aimed
at his head by the hands which they
raised in "fratricldal strife" against the
Democratic party of the nation.
In addition to Senator Gibson's sup
port of Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton, he has committed another sin,
which, in the eyes of the State adminis-
tration, is unpardouable, and that js,
that In the exercise of his rights as q
man, he has chosen to support Mich
oils in the present campaign. For this.
II for nothing else, he must be beaten.
Nc hint Is given rs to his want of the
necessary qualifications for the place
he has held so long. He may be ever
80 able and faithful, but he has unwise.
ly offended the powers that be, and
must take the consequences.

ELIzABETHTowN, Ills, Nov. 25.-
Associated Press. 1-Tne Hardin
County vendetta, which threatened to
depopuIate two counties few months
ago, has broken out again, and two
more desperate man-hun,ers have been
rushed hence without having an oppor-
tunity to remove their boots. The
cemetery records show total OF
thirteen killed, five of whom have ta-
ken their departure this year.
THE STORY OF THE TRAGEDY
that provoked the feud is we'll known
throughout Southern illinois. Ten
years ago John Bell, desperate char
acter, shot and killed Doc Oldham at q
dance in the Oldham homestead. Both
men were among the most prominent
In the county, and the excitement
reached high pitch. The community
took sides, aud when Mash Covert, d
witness for the prosecution, was laid
low with a charge Of buckshot, the
trouble began. Luke HOrnbrink, who
was connected with the Oldham fact-
ion, was assassinated on his doorstep.
Ed Bell was soon after
SHOT FROM AMBUSH AND KILLED.
Logan Bell was sent tol the peniten-
tiary for the killing of Doc Oldham,
and Bill Fraley went up for the shoot.
Ing of Covert. During the trial a
Kuklux organization, Of which Bell
was captain, and which contained some
Of the best men in the county, was ex.
posed. This band was called ssSons of
Liberty" and its ostensible objectaIwas
to ssregulate" citizens. While Bell
and Fraley were in tho penitentiary,
q couple of men were killed on each
side. After they were released, Bell
was indicted for the assassination of
Hornbrink and was tried last spring
aud acquitted.
Three weeks later he was shot dead
from ambush. Two weeks after Cap
tain Logan Bells death his brother,
Jim Bell, was shot and killed at the
same spot,
"CAvE IN~RoCK."
The assassinations produced great con-
sternatioD, and the friends of the Bell
faction, among who was Earl Sher-
wood and others, received orders to
emigrate,' aud they moved into the
adjoining county. Then Judge Hesse,
of the Circuit Court, who presided at
Bell's trial, was threatened with death
II he did not leave. He armed him
self, and is still here.
Last Tuesday night a dance was Civ
en- at farm house near Battery Rock.
Among those who attended was Joe
Blair, Bell partisan, and Joe Hugle-
ton, relative of Oldhams. Bill Fraley
who removed to Cover was also among
the spectators. About 9 o'clock in the
morning the festivities were termina-
ted by

and Hugleton staggered back against
the wall, while Blair advanced on him
with the weapon. Before the aggressor
could fire again Hugleton spraug upon
him like tiger, and during the strug-
gle that ensued the lights were extin.
guished, half q dozen more shots
were fred aud the dancers rushed
panic.stricken out of the house. Ter
minutes after the first pistol shot all
was quiet again, aud half a dozen oi
the young men returned. They light
ed lanterns and found two corpses
twined together on the floor. Hugle.
ton had been shot twice through the
body, but had succeeded in drawing q
knife, aud the result of his awful work
! was seen in the twelve wounds on
Blair's body. The inquest exonerated
| the others from blame.
